We are looking for a talented junior to mid-level Motion Graphics Designer to join our Fortune 100 financial client's creative team, who balances the speed of an agency with the stability of a corporate powerhouse. This is a high-impact role that bridges the gap between creative design and technical production. You will be responsible for taking core concepts and translating them across various digital platforms- from stadium LED strips to dynamic animated social media content.

What You'll Do:

Motion & Animation: Create animated graphics for social media and large-scale environmental displays (e.g., stadium LED strips).

Digital Execution: Create high-impact digital assets that align with our new brand framework.

Brand Expansion: Help us build out and maintain a "clean and elegant" visual language during a critical brand transition.

Collaborative Ideation: Participate in creative brainstorms; we want someone who brings ideas to the table, not just someone who takes orders.

Quality Control: Navigate a multi-layered review process with grace, using feedback to sharpen the final output.

Occasional Field Support: Travel (approx. 10%) to major events (like the Army/Navy game) to help manage or create real-time content.

Core Requirements:

Experience: 2-6 years in a professional design environment.

Strong portfolio: Showing creative excellence and technical mastery.

Adobe Creative Suite: InDesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop.

Animation: Proficiency in Adobe After Effects and Adobe Animate is a major priority for this role.

Figma: Required (or a proven ability to learn it rapidly).

The "Hybrid" Mindset: You don't need to be a coder, but you must be tech-savvy enough to understand how graphics function in digital ad spaces.

What Will Set You Apart:

Strong Motion Design and Digital Graphic Design skills

Photo Editing/Retouching skills.

Generative AI: Experience using AI tools to create assets/physical product design (ex. tangible objects like coins or medals).

Efficiency: The ability to handle high-volume production without losing your creative spark.

Why Join This Team?

You will be part of a robust creative ecosystem (including a sister team of 18+ video pros). While this role is based more "in-house" than our travel-heavy video crews, you remain a vital artery for our brand's visual output. This is a perfect role for a designer who loves seeing their work live in the real world-from the palm of a hand on a smartphone to the massive screens of a stadium.

The target hiring compensation range for this role is $35 to $40 hr. Compensation is based on several factors including, but not limited to education, relevant work experience, relevant certifications, and location.
